Just thought of something military/guns related...

With this new arrival of drone warfare, suicide drones, grenade/bomb droppers, etc, suddenly the "old school" ideas of recoilless, caseless, or rocket guns/ammo seem a lot more practical for the purpose of mounting on small lightweight cheap drones for low recoil, accurate fire for anti-drone drones or anti-personnel drones.
That way they wouldnt be limited to 1 grenade/bomb drop or 1 suicide bomb.

Lasers might not be a bad idea either.

No idea what the state of the art is in military lasers and I've seen hobbyists cobble together some scary powerful shit.

Energy source may still be limiting for portable lasers, but it’s also likely the good battery/capacitor tech is classified

The whole drone scene will be larger drones getting downed by smaller drones. Ammunition-carrying drones still havent figured out command delay, recoil control and flight stabilization.
